We pronounce Chesebrough as “cheese bro”. I have an original copy of Anna Widley’s 1903 genealogy, which has my grandfather as one of its last entries. The Old Lighthouse museum in Stonington has an interesting portrait of William Chesebrough. The curator thought I had his nose. :-) I am not sure which of his children my branch is descended from.<br /><br />To the earlier comment regarding finding a suitable church William’s motivation for heading west did seem to stem from a degree of incompatibility with the governance in Massachusetts colony and the church hierarchy, but there must have also been a decided spirit of adventure and desire for a greater degree of freedom. When William arrived at the head of Wequetequock cove it was unsettled wilderness populated by native Pequot peoples. <br /><br />Larry Chesebro in St. Louis maintains a Chesebrough genealogy web site at http://www.chesebro.net/.<br /><br />An interesting factoid about the family is that Sir Robert Augustus Chesebrough, Born in London and knighted by Queen Victoria, invented Vaseline and was the founder of the Chesebrough Manufacturing Company, which later became Chesebrough-Ponds. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Chesebrough<br />Davehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14543424576119820361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533717770805440813.post-12990552051724554122013-05-04T06:51:27.281-07:002013-05-04T06:51:27.281-07:00It&#39;s fun when you find a post you weren&#39;t ...It&#39;s fun when you find a post you weren&#39;t even searching for - I stumbled across this via pinterest. I am a descendant of Samuel Chesebrough and Abigail Ingraham as well (my 8th great-grandparents).<br /><br />I&#39;d guess the pronunciation is along the lines of &#39;Chess-bro&#39; or &#39;Chess-a-bro&#39;, though my eyes see &#39;Cheese&#39; every time.

I have seen many variations on the spelling of Chesebrough and have wondered at how it has been pronounced throughout the years.Elizabeth H.http://www.blogger.com/profile/05529452862369140506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533717770805440813.post-69174458871479385992013-04-27T15:22:32.564-07:002013-04-27T15:22:32.564-07:00How about that!

And here it was founded by immigrants coming from Boston -- it sounds as if they were looking for a compatible church. They moved several times, clearly determined to find a church where they could make their home.<br /><br />I like your spelling Cheese borough, which sounds like a likely pronunciation to me, allowing for the British compression of the ending which would make it sort of like &quot;bruh,&quot; as in &quot;Wooster&quot; sauce.Mariann Reganhttp://mariannsregan.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533717770805440813.post-43806570635807835922013-04-27T07:46:16.967-07:002013-04-27T07:46:16.967-07:00Thanks, Chris, and I just learned a few new Cheseb...Thanks, Chris, and I just learned a few new Chesebrough spelling variations in your line...Heather Rojohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17704949156266722016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533717770805440813.post-37235691069504638072013-04-27T07:26:15.071-07:002013-04-27T07:26:15.071-07:00My Chesebrough line is
